Business Music Worldwide adds: "Directed by Sheeran’s cousin and filmmaker, Murray Cummings, the film documents the creation of his chart-topping third album, Divide.

Songwriter was produced by Kimmie Kim and executive produced by Sheeran’s manager Stuart Camp and Stefan Demetriou, who was head of Warner Music’s creative hub Firepit before jumping ship for Universal last year.

Alongside documenting the collaborative process behind his biggest hits, Songwriter offers insight into Sheeran’s childhood through never before-seen-footage from his family’s archives.

Those who appear in the film include legendary producer Benny Blanco and musicians such as Amy Wadge, Johnny McDaid, Foy Vance, Ryan Tedder, and Julia Michaels.

Sheeran said: 'Songwriter gives viewers a unique glimpse into the songwriting process.'

'Murray’s film brilliantly documents the hard work and DNA that goes into creating a song from start to finish.'

The film will have a limited theatrical release in New York from August 17 and Los Angeles from August 24."
